shaun of the dead - 07:14 PM

we saw shaun of the dead on dvd last night. really funny. pretty gory in some places but for someone like me who is scared really easily, it was not too hard to handle, despite me holding my Safety Couch Cushion™* up in front of my face a couple of times .. just in case.

i heard a review of it on triple j a few months back & thought it sounded pretty funny, but i wasn't absolutely sure until i saw the shorts for it running at the video shop. scary, yes, but definitely funnier than it is scary. it is gory & scary enough though, that i wouldn't recommend it for kids.

bridget jones, the edge of reason - 06:47 PM

a while ago i read the sequel to the first bridget jones book. when i heard that they were going to make a movie of it, i was quite excited, because i quite enjoyed the first movie. in fact, i read the first book after i saw the first movie.

when i saw some of the promotional things about the movie & saw that they'd included the daniel cleaver character, who most definitely does not make an appearance in the book, i was really disappointed & thought they'd kind of 'sold out'. i almost made a vow to not watch the second movie because i was that annoyed.

however, we just saw it on dvd & i'm pleased to say they actually did a nice job of inserting him into the story line without totally changing it, so i'm not that disappointed after all.

it was a pretty good movie. don't take my word for it though, because i'm a bit of a movie slut. i'll watch almost anything. mind you, it was definitely much better than starship troopers 2.
